Mini Split on Ice

| Posted in General Questions on

It’s been colder than usual and snowy here as it has been many other place (0 at night, 10 in the day, zone 4a).  This picture is of a 24kbtu Fujitsu -5 unit that pairs with the 24k mid static ducted unit.

This unit worked hard and kept running though it all.  I’m not happy about the way this was mounted on the roof, but it seems to serve the purpose.

There is ice around the bottom of the base pan.  It still seems to be draining well as evidenced by the ice below the unit,  but should I be concerned about the ice on the unit?  I’m sure it was worse last night.
